One of the first bridges across the Rhine far and wide, destroyed and rebuilt several times, it serves as a nice backdrop for a skyline picture of Basel

The Swiss city of Basel is located on the Rhine. It charms visitors with its medieval old town, renowned museums (Beyeler Foundation, Kunstmuseum), cathedral, and vibrant European cultural scene.
